Sylvia and I hosted a parents meeting regarding camp with a huge attendance from parents. We were able to cover some questions/concerns/ and the itinerary for camp.
Reasons why we want to do this camp are to:
- To promote student self esteem and confidence
- To develop class community and friendships
- To offer alternative learning opportunities
- To develop student understanding of Te reo and Tikanga Maori
Camp for Me
I love camp as its an opportunity to share an experience with your students it allows us to see a side to them that we might not get to see while at school. We are able to establish good foundations with parents and student.
I always encourage all students to have a go at all activities and make sure I know what I am doing.
Need to follow up on Flax Weaving.
March 17 2019
Today we created our itinerary with the team I am confident with the protocol on the marae as well as flax weaving. I will be leading my team the prayer pre-flax weaving.
I have with the help of Anne Cato, learnt how to print off the medical forms from the edge and have highlighted all students with issues, this has been cross checked with the teachers for any follow up info. Because we are the first group in we are kind of the guinea pigs. I am so exited to take the children to the swimming hole as I have been here with my own children. We are also going to take a eel line and have done some classroom work around this.
Reflection/Highlights
Camp was fantastic, I loved that it was just our class as I was able to spend time with each child that I might not have been able to. I love seeing kids succeed, trying new things and pushing the boundaries. Mr. McMillan ran some outstanding games for co operation which was so important for the bonding of our classroom as a complete unit.
* Lazer Tag
*Every child jumping off the rock
* saying my prayer in Te Reo
*smiles on the kids faces when they took lives off me
* the high fives
* Cooperative games
